I thought you were describing King David! Which Apostle does President Trump seem most like to you? Peter immediately jumps to my mind. Impetuous, foot-in-mouth, lied about knowing Christ....
Peter had some great qualities as well, and so does President Trump. His presidency did follow his campaign promises. We could all at least be aware of what a rare feat that is, for a candidate to keep campaign promises.
2016: A murmur was growing more into a louder, heated mutter in an otherwise quiet classroom. I walked over to see what the problem was, and four boys were discussing Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. One of the boys said, "I really like Trump, but sometimes he needs to keep his mouth shut." I smiled and said, "Just like some middle school boys."
They immediately got the point, but one asked, "Who are you going to vote for?"
I said, "I don't know yet. I guess I'll have to decide whether or not I want a middle school boy in the White House." One piped up, "Oh, we would be great!" and they all agreed on that. So I voted a middle school boy into the White House. Not that my Republican vote even counts in my state as the electoral college vote went to Mrs. Clinton.
I do not understand the extreme hatred and disdain for Donald Trump--the inability to see any good in him at all. If President Trump was acting like a middle school boy, so was the News Media and most of Twitter.
Do we have a middle ground here? How would you answer this question:
If President Trump made and believed these campaign promises, I could get behind him, because his administration does make things happen. What would bring you to the middle ground when it comes to a Trump presidency?
